About Rent North East — Letting Agent in Newcastle & Gateshead

Rent North East is an award-winning letting agent and property management company serving landlords across Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, South Shields, Washington, and the wider North East of England. As a leading letting agent in Newcastle, we combine local expertise with total transparency.

We were founded on a simple idea: landlords deserve an agent they can actually trust. Too many property management companies profit from hidden maintenance markups, undisclosed referral fees, and complex fee structures designed to confuse. We do things differently. Every fee we charge is disclosed clearly on your statements, every contractor quote is shared with you openly, and we never take secret commissions from third-party suppliers.

Our service is built for landlords who want peace of mind — whether you live locally in Gateshead or manage your portfolio remotely from overseas. We look after 170+ landlords, including clients based in Hong Kong, Dubai, Australia, and across the USA who rely on us to manage their North East properties with the same care and diligence they'd apply themselves.

What truly sets us apart is our in-house tenant vetting process. Where many agents use a single credit check, we run checks across three credit agencies, verify employment directly with employers, conduct Land Registry checks on previous landlords, and carry out recorded Right to Rent checks. Better quality tenants mean fewer voids, more reliable rent payments, and better property care — which is why our landlord retention rate sits at 98.7%.

We are members of the Property Redress Scheme, the Deposit Protection Service, the Tenancy Deposit Scheme, and are registered with the ICO. We advertise all properties on Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket, and PrimeLocation — ensuring maximum exposure for your rental property.

Our team is passionate about doing right by landlords. We don't upsell unnecessary maintenance work because we don't profit from it. We give honest advice, even when that means telling you something isn't worth spending money on. That integrity is why we've earned over 200 genuine reviews with a 4.6-star rating on Google.

Whether you're a first-time landlord or an experienced investor with a large portfolio, Rent North East offers a transparent, professional, and genuinely caring management service that puts your interests first — always.
